Breathing A Sigh Of Relief

Bucs Beat

REPORT: Tampa Bay Coach Tony Dungy said nobody would want to play the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs. Nobody has to now.

The Packers won seven of their last 10, swept NFC Central champion Minnesota, beat all of their division rivals in a perfect December run and re-established Lambeau Field as a tough place to play.

"They would be a dangerous team in the playoffs," said Dungy, whose Bucs lost 17-14 in overtime to the Packers (9-7) on Sunday.

Much was made of the Bucs losing their 19th consecutive game when the game-time temperature was below 40 degrees. So what's the forecast for Philadelphia, site of Sunday's wild-card game? A high of 36 with a chance of showers.
